Will this diet work for cutting?

I'm 6'2 220lb 24 years old
BMR = 2200
I am doing Insanity + Weights
2200x1.5 = 3300
This is the diet I have come up with trying to get as close as possible to a 50/30/20 split (P/C/F) which I understand is good for cutting.
I don't like brown rice or sweet potatoes so that's the reason for all the bread. Also I work at Subway so I get a free 6" every day that I work.
I know that 3 whey shakes is a bit much, but honestly this is a ton of food and i'm still kind of under eating for cutting.
Meal #1
Whey Protein
Banana
Whole Wheat Bun
Ground Turkey
Meal #2
6" Subway Club Dbl Meat
V8 juice
Meal #3
6oz Tilapia
Whey Protein
Meal #4
Whey Protein (Post Work Out)
Banana
Meal #5
Whole Wheat Bun
Ground Turkey
V8 juice
2279 Calories
192 Carbs
68 Fats
308 Protein
If i'm hungry (Which I doubt I will be) Then I may add like a protein bar or a banana.. Ok any advice/replies will be appreciated.
I don't care if you think my diet is "boring". All I care about is if this will work for cutting and getting those abs to show.

3 shakes are to much?? I love protein shakes haha
For your whey protein are you taking them with water? or Milk? Milk will add cals so take that into consideration unless you already did haha
I like your diet although i will say i would only eat fish 3 times a week due to the high mercury content and all. Where are your healthy fats coming from? I chose to get mine from all natural peanut butter so i can get some protein in there as well.0 -
40g of fat come from the whole wheat buns im eating with my ground turkey..0
